One Sentence

In the world of today, every imaginable piece of information can be found with extreme ease, right at the tip of one’s fingers.  The who, what, when, where, why, and how can be established in only a few moments, with just the single click of a mouse. 

Although it seems farfetched and completely unimaginable, just suppose that all knowledge and information were to be destroyed, other than a single sentence that could remain to be passed on to the next generation of people.  This one sentence would serve as the foundation for the entire world to be built upon.  Which single, solitary sentence do you think should be preserved? Which particular sentence would present the world with the most powerful pieces of information?  If it were up to me, I would leave behind this one: With a little hard work, determination, and cooperation, absolutely anything and everything is possible.

Our present day society is programmed to believe that to live is to have more power, a higher social class, and to be recognized, as opposed to working together and encompassing the differences among us.  True teamwork, equality, and respect are virtues that have been lost through the ages, but I feel that by building an entire world based upon the words of my sentence, these merits can be regained.  Now, I know that this may seem totally impossible, but I have faith that it could happen, and I believe that it would be an absolutely phenomenal occurrence.  The sentence that I would choose to leave behind holds so much power, and an even a greater amount of potential.  If this potent dose of dignity and respect could replace even just the slightest amount of the negativity in today’s culture, there are no limits as to how much better our world could be.

Inside My Head

Each and every day is composed of so many different thoughts and feelings… narrowing all of these down into just “one head’s worth” is incredibly difficult, but here is a start.

The first thought to fill my head every single day is of Jameson; I wake up every morning and thoughts of him come instantaneously.  Jameson is the most wonderful, most important part of my life. 

Education is an extremely significant part of my life; I have such high hopes for my future, and in order to get to where I dream of being, I need a great education.  I stress all the time about school and my grades; the grades that I make now will have an enormous impact on the colleges which I will be able to attend… without the appropriate grades, I will not be able to fulfill my dreams of going to an Ivy League college.  After college, I plan to go to medical school; for longer than I can remember, I have longed to be a doctor.  How well I do in college will affect the medical school that I could have the opportunity to attend.  All in all, my education will determine my entire future.  I dream big… big dreams don’t come easily.
